Abstract
The interfacial energy of nanomaterials can be decreased by grain-boundary wetting. The most effective is grain-boundary wetting by a chemically compatible melt in the two-phase area of the phase diagram, where the solid and melt are in equilibrium. The possibility of the thermodynamically stable solid/melt nanocomposite existing in the two-phase area of the phase diagrams where the solid and melt are in equilibrium is shown.
